Do u think it would be nice if u could play your states lotteries on line ? Or any state for that matter .I don't always fell like going out to play. Is there any state that do ? u can do everything else on line I don't see why not.

With government control, online play is problemmatic. They feel that they lose control of the sales process, and it upsets all the convenience store owners (who are a very big lobby of the government).

In the meantime, your best bet is to click the online play links on the left side of this page.

The Georgia Lottery is trying to create the option where you can play on line. It has passed in the House but seems to be dead or asleep right now. The house passed the bill by a vote of 131 to 32, and as of 03/09/04 it was read and referred to the Senate, whatever that means. LOL

My personal opinion is that you will have the option to buy tickets on line in the near future. All state lotteries want the chance to access additional funds and the world wide web would open up that opportunity.

There is also the issue of whether the state lottery would be able to sell to customers both within and outside of their own state. The Senators that are pushing the bill in Georgia want to be able to sell tickets to people outside the state of Georgia, and outside the country for that matter. I will let you know when I hear something new.

I have a small wager with Todd on this and I will probably lose on the timing scenario. But I still feel strongly it will pass one day, just not sure when. ;-)
